Chocolate and mint are wonderful flavors all on their own. But combine them and they become sensational. And that is what we celebrate for Chocolate Mint Day.

Of course you know there’s chocolate mint ice cream. And chocolate mint candies, like Andes and peppermint patties. Don’t forget Girl Scout Thin Mints.

But did you know the mint plant also comes in chocolate flavor? That’s right. There’s actually a chocolate mint plant. Yum!

This day is recognized by the National Confectioner’s Association, but we haven’t been able to find out how it came to be. It’s not clear if the Association actually started it. Or maybe it began with a candy company or an ice cream maker. Then again, maybe it was someone who just loves chocolate mint.

But does it really matter? If you love chocolate mint flavor, you’ll want to celebrate Chocolate Mint Day.

Scroll down for some ideas on celebrating this refreshing unofficial holiday.

 

Celebrating Chocolate Mint Day

Eat as much chocolate mint as you can!

Stock up on your favorite form of chocolate mint:

• Coffee (what better way to wake up on Chocolate Mint Day?)
• Andes Mints
• Mint malted milk balls
• Mint chocolate covered espresso beans

 

And for something a little different, try chocolate mint astronaut ice cream. It’s freeze-dried, the way astronauts enjoy their food, so it’ll never melt!

Or make something chocolatey and minty:

• Try Chocolate Mints Bark (Basically homemade Andes Mints)
• Chocolate Peppermint Milkshake
• Homemade Thin Mints
• Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream (You don’t need an ice cream maker for this one!)
• Mint Chocolate Coffee (Unlike the mint chocolate coffee beans above, this one uses regular coffee and adds a chocolate mint liqueur, so it’s probably better as an after-dinner drink)

 

Can’t eat chocolate for some reason? Indulge with chocolate mint beauty products like:

• Dark Chocolate + Mint Lip Balm
• Chocolate Mint Soy Milk Bath Salts
• Crest Mint Chocolate Toothpaste
• Chocolate & Mint Soap
• Bath & Body Works Temptations Dreamy Chocolate Mint Body Lotion
• Winter Vanilla Mint Cleansing Conditioner

 

Wow. Who knew there were so many different products with chocolate-mint scents/tastes?

Enjoy!
